The format for a script is quite different from a novel so all the other things aside you have to write in the right format I'm sure if you even expect to attract an agent, much less get a script accepted. Of course even if a movie is made from someone's story it's not always going to be remembered properly. I remember some yrs back a movie was made from a writer's story and it won some awards, but when the filmmakers got up to give their acceptance speech and thank everyone associated with the picture they made a big goof. They forgot to mention the original author on whose work the movie was based. It caused a big stink at the time as I recall since he hadn't even known the picture based on his work was even nominated (they are supposed to send out a copy of the movie to those who are connected with it and they didn't even remember that much). So I imagine it can sometimes be a thankless job in that the writer doesn't always get the credit he/she deserves either.
